I have recently changed to Nokia Suite from PC Suite which included Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.34.0.Do I still need this driver Onclejean.
![]() Is this supposed to be a joke I cant connect my laptop with the internet, because the connectivity driver is missing. So I download the driver with my mobile phone and transfer it to my laptop. I have cable ca-42 connected to nokia 6020 and to USB of my computer. The N810 uses Maemo OS 2008 applications, and generally follows the newer open source model for software development. This time we look at GPS, applications, browsing the web and multimedia. Just to recap, the E90 is of course a Symbian S60 3rd Edition smartphone, while the N810 is an internet tablet which runs Maemo, a Linux-based software platform. Theyre both made by Nokia and share some similar features like QWERTY keyboards, large screens and built-in GPS receivers, but there are also fundamental differences in the philosophies behind their design. GPS Satellite Navigation The E90s GPS receiver finds satellites much much more quickly than the N810s. The E90s assisted GPS (which uses the phone network) probably helps, but even without a network connection the E90 is significantly faster. It could be that the N810s performance will improve as new firmware updates are issued, and to be fair this is the first-ever Maemo device with GPS, but at the moment the E90 is a more practical device for navigation purposes. One thing perhaps mitigating this is the N810s touch-based navigation interface that has on-screen buttons, which some may find easier to operate while on the move. Theres a dashboard holder included in the N810 sales package, so Nokia is clearly hoping people will fit this device in their cars. If youre unhappy with the built-in GPS receivers, both the N810 and E90 can use external Bluetooth GPS units instead, including unofficial units made by third party companies. Install Android On Nokia E90 Software Free Maps ThroughThe E90 features free maps through the Nokia MapsSmart2Go service, which can be downloaded on the fly directly onto the E90 itself, or onto your PC and transferred. The N810 uses a different map service, Wayfinder, which also has free maps but distributed as separate chunks for each part of the world. You have to download the entire relevant map pack for your current area (for example Scandinavia) while you have a network connection, but you dont need a network connection while actually using the map. As for the maps themselves, they both worked in that they tracked movement and displayed roads without a problem, but they also both had significant gaps and mistakes in their Points Of Interest data. To give a couple of glaring examples: - The E90s Nokia Maps insists that there are no cash machines at all in Finland, and the ATM category only mentions those hundreds of kilometres away in Russia. The N810s Wayfinder software insists that the only kind of shops in Finland are Off-Licences (Liquor Stores). Does this perhaps say something about the people who compiled the map data:-) Both Nokia Maps and Wayfinder have similar route-planning and navigation features, with options for 2D and 3D views etc. Route-planning is free with Nokia Maps but you have to pay extra for navigation guidance (the voice that tells you where to turn next), whereas Wayfinder charges extra for both route-planning and navigation guidance. If youre unhappy with the built-in map services you can install third party ones instead. N810 owners are strongly advised to try Maemo Mapper, a free open source map and navigation application, while E90 owners can choose from a range of commercial navigation products for the S60 3rd Edition platform including Navicore, Route 66 and Wayfinder, plus the free Google Maps for Mobile. The maemo.org websites downloads page, where you can install free native apps and games on the N810. ![]() Moving on to apps you install yourself, the situation gets a bit more interesting as the two devices take completely different approaches to application development. The E90 uses S60 3rd Edition applications, and S60 is generally based on the same model that all computing devices have traditionally used. The S60 platform has formed a commercial software ecosystem, where companies and individuals are encouraged to make and sell closed source software in the hope of profit. In short, people pay developers for S60 stuff, so the developers make more S60 stuff. There are some open source freeware S60 apps too, but the majority are closed source commercial releases.
